Someone to Watch over Me
Yearning Heart's Quest: In Search of Love's Guardian
Lyrics
There's a saying old says that love is blind
Love is often believed to be oblivious to flaws or imperfections.
Still were often told, seek and ye shall find
Encourages the act of searching, implying that one will find what they seek.
So I'm going to seek a certain lad I've had in mind
Expresses the intent to search for a specific person.
Looking everywhere, haven't found him yet
Despite searching extensively, the person hasn’t yet found the one they seek.
Hes the big affair I cannot forget
Describes the person as a significant and unforgettable romantic interest.
Only man I ever think of with regret
Reflects on the singular regret of thinking solely about this person.
I'd like to add his initial to my monogram
Expresses a desire to merge identities or become associated with the person.
Tell me, where is the shepherd for this lost lamb?
Asks where the protector or guide is for someone feeling lost.
There's a somebody I'm longing to see
Expresses a strong desire to meet a specific individual.
I hope that he turns out to be
Hopeful that the person being sought will meet their expectations.
Someone who'll watch over me
Desire for someone who will care for and protect them.
I'm a little lamb who's lost in the wood
Metaphorically portrays oneself as vulnerable and in need of guidance.
I know I could always be good
Believes they can be better with the guidance and care of the sought-after person.
Someone who'll watch over me
Reiterates the longing for someone to look after them.
Although he may not be the man some
Acknowledges that the sought-after person might not match conventional attractiveness.
Girls think of as handsome
Suggests that the sought-after person may not fit societal standards of beauty.
To my heart he carries the key
Symbolizes the person as someone crucial to their emotional well-being.
Won't you tell him please to put on some speed
Urges the person to hasten their approach and assist.
Follow my lead, oh, how I need
Requests guidance and assistance from the sought-after person.
Someone to watch over me
Expresses the longing for someone to care for and protect them.
